Dear Family of St. Thomas’s,
The Newark Empowerment Center is in need of “Go Bags” (a meal in a bag) for our homeless friends. Everyday the Empowerment Center serves lunch – usually donated by a local restaurant or pizza place, to about 20 homeless friends. As the guests leave, they receive a “Go Bag” for dinner. The Empowerment Center is running very low on their supply of “Go Bags”.
If you can possibly make up a few and bring them to St. Thomas’s over the weekend to the Health Fair on Saturday or worship services on Sunday, they would be SO grateful! I will put a box in the area outside the Office labeled “Go Bags”. I will deliver them to the Empowerment Center next week.
A “Go Bag” contains:
A shelf-stable entree (packet of tuna or beef stew or mac and cheese in a can or pack),
a cup of fruit,
a packet of crackers,
a packet of cookies,
a plastic fork/spoon wrapped in a napkin,
a drink (bottle of water, packet of fruit juice, etc)
ALL in a gallon ziplock bag.
Blessings to you ALL,
Madeline Johnson
